Broken Dawn
Look me in the eyes and tell me everything’s okay
Smile at my naive face and say tomorrow’s a new day
filled with places to go, people to see, things to say
look me in the eyes and tell me everything’s okay
when we’re fighting a war
tweeting about whores
smoking for more
more exposed than before
Children.
Sandy Hook and Columbine; an eye for an eye makes the world and we are stumbling in the dark for the switch
trigger
pitch
bigger
more
before
Bourgeoisie line their pockets with blood diamonds in their eyes
while 13 year old Cambodians, Rwandans, Ugandans are forced to dismember their mothers.
Mother, where have you gone?
Lady Liberty is too busy guarding the borders
hoarders
exemplify the twisted sickness the first world is bringing
singing
the haunting voices of our children wondering where the polar bears went
sent
away because gay is sacrilege
their marriage is separate but equal so take it
sound familiar?
Political dispute, filial commutes rob your children of family dinner
sinner
aborting the factor factor product of a rape she knows won’t live past the age of two
her tears, pooling in the buckets of black that scar our nation
mother, help me, I'm afraid not of what others will do to me but of what I will do to myself
Shelves, lined with textbooks printed in the ink of one God leaving the young Hindu wondering which one killed the others
mother, where are we now?
Mommy, stay with me; Mommy, say I love you; Politicians, get it straight
look me in the eyes and tell me everything’s okay
smile at my naive face and say tomorrow’s a new day
